49ers

“I’m under contract, so as long as I’m under contract, then I’m going to be an Atlanta Falcon,” White said, via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.

White mentioned that the Falcons have told him that they too expect him finish out his career in Atlanta.

“I plan on being a Falcon forever,” White added. “That’s what they told me. That’s where my heart is. That’s where my mind’s at.”
